Visa ITC SheTrades Bringing Women Led Businesses in Bangladesh Online

90 percent of the world’s businesses and more than half of global employment are concentrated in micro, small, and medium-sized enterprises, yet women run less than one-third of all small businesses. This is why Visa partnered with the International Trade Centre’s SheTrades initiative to launch a Digital Literacy Coaching program for women-owned businesses in Bangladesh. With a special focus on the textile and apparel, information technology (IT) and business process outsourcing (BPO) industries, the coaching will better equip women-owned businesses with digital skills and expertise to respond to market disruptions and external shocks. The ITC established the SheTrades Initiative in 2015 to foster the right conditions and capacities for every woman, everywhere, to realize their full economic potential. By targeting stakeholders across the trade and business ecosystem, SheTrades provides women entrepreneurs and producers with access to key knowledge, resources, and networks.
